Thanks for your patch. I'm fine with having the possibility to disable
versioning if it's not required for a website. However I'd like to see
the "version" extension loaded by default and/or having a section in the
update wizard in the install tool that tells the admin whether
versioning can be disabled on the system.

I fear that versioning drifts into a dark corner when it's disabled by
default and will not be considered for further modifications. Versioning
is a major feature of TYPO3 and the signal for extension developers
should be to create applications that support that feature.

But giving an admin the possiblity to disable it sounds good to me.
